TS2972 How can I stop iTunes on my computer to start whenever I use the Apple TV remote to select a new program?

Whenever I use the Apple TV remote to choose a new program, iTunes starts on my computer and starts playing from the playlist. How do I prevent that from happening?

Your computer is picking up the remote's signal. Go into system preferences - security - general. Click on the padlock and go into advanced. Check disable remote control infrared receiver.

  • How can I stop iTunes from putting in a list of podcasts episodes the same episodes I already downloaded?

    If I download a podcast and delete it, when I refresh podcasts, I see the same podcast show up with the cloud next to it, as an option to be downloaded. This makes it impossible to keep track of what I already listened to. I dont want to keep the old podcasts on my computer after I'm done with them. What can I do about this?!
    thanks!

    If I would've read the whole post, I would've seen that. Sorry.
    Strange though. Hope someone a li'l more helpful can find the answer you're looking for.

  • How can i stop iTunes from Auto rating my songs??

    How can i stop iTunes from auto rating my songs in my library?? I have my library very organized and 90% of the time when i listen to music i play "My Top Rated" Playlist on shuffle. The only time i give stars ratings to my songs is for my favourite songs which i give 5 star and every other song is just left with no stars. For some reason iTunes is giving songs i have never played or i dont like 5 Stars and rewining my playlists. I have tried erasing all the stars from my entire library and since doing this a week ago, again (for the 4th time in a year) having a library with not 1 song with any star ratings, all of a sudden i now have 329 random songs with 5 stars again??????
    This is really getting to me as i love my music and love iTunes and everything apple but seriously there has to be away to stop this so i can have my old playlists back!
    Thanks hope some one can help

    One reason itunes will start "at regular intervals" will be if you have an iphone that has sync via wifi enabled. I had the problem following an upgrade to iOS 5.

    How can I STOP iTunes from automatically trying to add podcasts to my iPod when I plug it in and sync it, so I can manage the files? I have already unchecked "Sync Podcasts" and "Automatically include,"yet EVERY time I sync it,it still transfers podcasts as the last step, and at other times randomly, when trying to just add some MP3's to a playlist, for example.  I can't seem to find any other option to uncheck, and can't find an answer from my so-far internet searching.

    erict, you blew me away with that suggestion! It was something so simple I couldnt believe I hadnt thought of it! But in the end it didn't work, which I was really surprised about. On Windows anytime anything was moved itunes was hoplessly lost, but on this mac it still kept up with everything. I tried renaming folders, moving folders, and even renaming moved folders but it still kept trying to import.
    I even went as far as deleting EVERYTHING i had moved to the Mac, which didnt really work. It still kept trying to import what wasnt there which made it continue to freeze up. However, after doing this it, the freezing was not nearly as bad. It gave me enough of a break to cancel it through the itunes dialog box at the top of the app. So in the end, thats all I really needed to do, only before I had deleted everything the freezing would not allow me to do it.
    So now Im reimporting everything again, only slowly, and only a few Artists at a time.

  • How can I stop iTunes from numbering ripped files?

    How can I stop iTunes 11.2.1 from automatically adding numbering before track titles when I rip files from a CD? I used to be able to do this generations of iTunes ago but later versions don't seem to offer an option to turn this off. All ideas, tips, suggestions and hints welcome.

    Thanks very much for your reply. I'm not ripping music but rather audiobook CDs which I then use Audiobook Builder to create audiobooks I can "read" on my iDevice. On the odd occasion iTunes will "recognize" the audiobook CD and offer to import metadata for it ... which is almost always incorrect. Thus, I usually decline the metadata import and enter the appropriate and correct metadata via Get Info. Then, when I import the files from the CD, iTunes automatically numbers each file ahead of the file title. I was previously able to disable this behavior but I can't find any way to do so in iTunes 11.2.1. Some have said TinkerTool used to provide this feature but no longer does. I don't know if TinkerTool has a Mavericks-compatible version - I'll have to check that out. If not, then I'm still trying to find a way to disable automatic track numbering in iTunes when ripping audiobook CDs. Thanks again for your reply ... I 'preciate it.

  • How can you stop iTunes splitting up a cd in the music library

    How can you stop iTunes splitting up a cd in the music library

    Try highlighting the tracks in iTunes, right-clicking and Getting Info, then marking them as Part of a compilation.
    If that doesn't take care of it, read Apple's document (where the pic came from) -> Why aren't songs with the same album art grouped together?
    WTH.

  • How can I stop iTunes from transferring purchased apps from iPad to computer?

    How can I stop iTunes from transferring purchased apps from iPad to my computer? I don't want them taking up space on my computer. iPad backups and apps on the cloud are enough to ensure my apps are backed up, so I don't understand why they need to be on iTunes too. I'm running Mavericks, iTunes 11.1.5 and iOS 7.0.6.

    There isn't an app for that!
    As far as I can tell there is no option to give you that control. It is worth noting that apps can be withdrawn from the store at any time. Should your device need restoring you need all the apps in your library to transfer to it before the app data can be successfully restored. Pulling that all down from the cloud would be time consuming.
    If space is becoming an issue you should consider moving the library to a bigger drive (which you should also backup to another).
    As a temporary measure you could try deleting some larger apps using Finder from within iTunes/iTunes Media/Mobile Applications while keeping the entries in your library. iTunes may complain during syncs that it cannot copy apps to the device because they cannot be found, but it should not clear them from the device. Test first on a single app that doesn't have any data that you would mind losing in case the behavior has changed from the last time I tested it.

  • How can i stop itunes creating playlists on itouch 5th generation

    Hi All
    Happy new year to everyone.
    I have a new iTouch 5th generation which I am trying to set up and sync etc.  One of the problems I have found is this:-
    Despite selecting in iTunes to Manually control the sync process so that I can choose which playlists are synced to the device, iTunes somehow managed to also sync playlists it created from my music.  Along with my own created playlists, were playlists for 90's music, recently played, classical, etc etc.  None of these playlists were created or chosen by me.
    How can I stop itunes creating and syncing these unwanted playlists.
    the iTouch is a 5th generation with IOS 8.1.2, : PC is running windows 8, itunes verion 12.0.1
    Many thanks

    Hi  - I never thought of using the WiFi.  Thanks.  I already have the 'manually manage music' checked  but now I need to get rid of most of the music.
    Let me look at the settings on my iPad. Okay I checked not to automatically sync.
    Brian, I do need to transfer PDF Files from my iMac to my iPad.  I suppose that using Wifi I can just drag and drop?  Using iTunes like I have been I just open Adobe on my iPad then use iTunes to drop the class files into the iPad.

  • How can I keep iTunes (10.5) from randomly starting up?

    Has anyone figured out how to stop this annoying behaviour?

    I am sorry, but the Windows OS is totally unfamiliar to me. I'm a Mac.
    I did Goggle the issue and there are a number of support articles about this error message on the Internet. It seems to be a problem in your OS but like I said, I am not Windows knowledgeable at all.
    You either have to reregister the Windows installer or reinstall it - if I am reading any of this correctly.

    I have given a laptop to my grandson without deauthorizing itunes. How can I deauthorize itunes on that computer without being in possision of it?

    You cannot, nor do you need to until you reach the limit of 5.  Then you can deauthorize all and authorize only the machines you choose.

  • How can I stop iPhoto from reidentifying faces I have already 'crossed', while still being able to identify and sort new faces.

    iPhoto has detected faces of people I dont know, in my 'iPhoto faces' whenever I click the cross in the corner of the face (when sorting faces) the face temporarily disappears, but once I have uploaded a fresh batch of photos (and want to identify new faces) it automatically re-identifies the old photos that I don't want to have to sort again. How can I stop iPhoto from reidentifying faces I have already 'crossed', while still being able to identify and sort new faces.

    Thank you, that makes sense (I think!) However, I need to be able to tell iPhoto who the people identified in my photos are, does that make sense? How do I identify the people in my new photos without clicking 'find faces'. I know that button searches through my photos to find faces, but it also gets me to the place where I identify the faces as my friends and family, is there a shortcut to get to that place without clicking 'find faces'? That is what I really need, please help!!
